10 Best "Everything You Know Is A Lie" Moments In Movies
1. We Have Just Lost Cabin Pressure - Fight Club
David Fincher's Fight Club so brilliantly pulled off the "he was in your head the whole time" twist as to basically ruin it for every other filmmaker.
Early in the story, the film's unnamed insomniac narrator (Edward Norton) crosses paths with charismatic soap salesman Tyler Durden (Brad Pitt), and together they form a fight club which eventually snowballs into an outright anarchist movement called Project Mayhem.
But in the third act, the narrator is referred to as Mr. Durden and Tyler's casual lover Marla Singer (Helena Bonham Carter) even calls him Tyler.
Upon confronting Tyler, the narrator learns the truth: they are both dissociated personalities within the same body.
The narrator has been assuming the persona of Tyler primarily while sleeping, and their interactions throughout the film have effectively been the narrator's unreliable projections.
And even after the narrator learns what's going on, he basically spends the rest of the movie wrestling "Tyler" for control, before killing his alternate personality by shooting himself in the mouth.
